A host of subtle, but highly functional, updates make an already-fantastic cargo bike option even better.
Ultra-compact size combined with full-sized hauling capability, super broad array of accessories, improved ride and handling, quieter and more powerful motor, great range, generally excellent spec.
Finicky kickstand, 20″ front wheel still makes for somewhat twitchy handling, one-size-doesn’t-really-fit-all.

In this Tern GSD S00 LX review we discuss with Tern what makes this bike unique, while testing out handling, motor, and brake capabilities.
Dec 2020
If you want a versatile, easily-adjustable load carrier and you’ve got the pockets for it, the Tern GSD S10 is as good as they come, carrying people and packages with consummate ease. The updates from the first version have made it a better overall bike, at the expense of, well, some extra expense. This remains, though, the best option for nearly anyone doing normal things on a bike, assuming you can afford it. The other builds are even more expensive than the S10, which starts at £4,499, but for me this is the model to go for.

Is the Tern GSD S00 E-cargo bike literally living on the edge? Is putting a 115 kg rider on the smallest bike in the test a recipe for disaster? We sent our biggest test rider to check whether this little E-cargo bike is bombproof. Equipped with a dual battery system and two bottles of beer, the little Tern had to show what it's capable of!
Can be stowed anywhere thanks to its compact dimensions, even fitting in the back of an estate!
Well thought out concept, standard euro boxes fit the rack perfectly
Comfortable tire-rim combination
Convenient manoeuvring handle on the saddle
Low-slung frame
Limited climbing capabilities due to the limited gear range of the Enviolo Cargo drivetrain
Nervous handling, especially without a load
Old generation Bosch Performance Line CX motor
Wobbly stand that is difficult to fold out
